Tripple pass heat exchanger
Here's my latest invention...haven't tested yet. I also have to design my mounts yet.

The tanks are oversized for more capacity without having to use an extra tank. It has 5.3L capacity.

The holding capacity is a small part of the equation. While it won't hurt to have more capacity the primary gain will be heat transfer. A larger holding capacity in itself will just take 15 minutes to heat to what ever temp the heat exchanger can disapate rather than 10. Surface area and air flow are going to be the biggest factors to increase thermal improvements.

Besides adding capacity to lengthen the time before total heat soak, my goal was to design a part that eliminates spending $1000 on two different parts. When I can spend $500 on one part and do the same thing. Or in this case I think it has more capacity then having a separate resivoir and after market exchanger.
